Expert Review of Proposals
 To foster the success of competitive proposals for external funding,
the Office of Research will provide assistance in obtaining peer
review of federal grant proposals prior to submission.
 Available for major awards (Guggenheim, NEH, NEA, ACLS)
 PI must submit 5 names of potential reviewers and have a
completed draft ready for review a minimum of 1 month prior to
the submission deadline

Limited Submissions
 Federal agencies, foundations and university programs
occasionally limit the number of applications/nominations UNL
may submit for specific grants and awards. When a call for
proposals is "limited," the Office of Research uses an internal
selection process to determine which application(s) will be
submitted to the sponsor for funding consideration.

Internal Funding Opportunities
 Internal funds are available from the Office of Research and from
the Research Council to support research, scholarship and creative
activities through annual university-wide competitions.
